The performance was a 'neo-gesamtkunstwerk', an attempt to establish a specific hierarchy of elements of dance, music and verbal theatre by using the method of 'montage of attractions'. Based on the myth of M. T. Kalasnikoff [the constructor of the 1st Slavic machine gun AK 47 cal. 7,62mm, named after him] whose story runs parallel to the story of Sophocles and H. Müllers 'Philoctetes' and the legend of Percival. Produced by Eurokaz festival and premiered in Zagreb Youth Theatre.
